To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, SAMUEL Si. GROSJEAN, it citizen olthe United States, residing' at New lOrleens,` in the perish of Urleens end State of Louisiane, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Sterilizers, of Which the following isn specilieetion.

rihis invention relates to'sterilizing apperetus for dental and surgical tools, find other articles or appliances, characterized by e chamber containing e sterilizing liquid end :i tray, on which letter the appliances to be sterilized are placed, seid troy being, slideble for iinmersing. the appliances in the sterilizing liquid. llt is the object of the present invention `to provide the chamber with e closure in the Lliorin of n` hinged lid which is operatively connected to the trav in euch a .meneer that` the tray is lowered *when 'the lid is swung closed, and raised Wbenthe lid is swungl open.

"lhis object ie attained by ineens ein novel combination and arrangement oit parts to be hereinafter described land claimed, refer ence being` bed to the accompanying drone ings, in which; i

Figure l is i perspective view oit the appointus; 2, is n central lon 'itudinal section thereof on the line 2v2 oi'. l; is n cross-seetiong litiga si is u horizontal section on the line lt-t oi3 und Fig 5 is e perspective view of one of the troy supporting; members.

Referring' specifically to the drawings, the steriiizing chamber l() nifty be oii any desired shape and dimensions, the seine boing mounted on o, bese il. supporting zi gew burner 12 wh ich entends lengthwise beneath the bottom of the che-rubor. rilic chuniber l() is provided with e closure in the :torno` oit u, hinged lid 13 having on its under side fr con tinuous depending ilong'e il which letter lits snrgij7 in the top portion ol' the ebniznber e tight" closure. il trnv l5 iler supporti,inv tbe op plizince to be sterilized is slidnblv mounted in' the chamber l0, seid treff boring e pcr- Aforet/ed bottom lo to :freely admit the steri-` liuino; liquid wlien the tra is lowered tbereinto. @n the end Wnlis ei the cbunber l, inside the seine, nre niounte it? boring inturned merg.' nre spaced to 'term un(v .in which letter ere mounted slides lowered in the chamber upon operating the slides. f

In order that the tray l5 may nieve sinnli- `tencously with the lid i3, the slides 19 have outstonding studs 2l on their outer feces, near the top, Whieh'studs nre engngeuble by curved urine 22 extendingl :'roln the under side of the lid and passing under the studs. rThese arms ere located et the ends oi the lid, and they are secured to the iinnge lli, neer the hinged portion or the lid. The cur rature oi the ernis is such the t when the lid is swung down to close the ebeinber l0, the slides travel downward end nlloiv the trziy l5 to lower into the sterilizing liquid, where es, when the lidis swung open, the slides aire carried upward by `the firms, and the troy rises out o't the sterilieingg iiquid. 'lllhe operation of raising' und lowering the truy is therefore mitonuticnlly eiiected by the swinpg oit 4the lid.

' @ne end o'l the lid 13 carries e pivoted prop 23 for holding; the seine in open posi tion, seid prop being engngenble with the top of one oit the strips 17 for this purpose when the lid is open. @n the end well oi the chamber 10 is u guide :1nd retaining bei 2d under which the prop works.

rl`he apparatus herein described is very simple and inexpensive in construction, ind it e'ti'ectunliy serves the purpose :for Wbich it is designerfi. v The preferred embodiment ofi the invention hns been showin, but it will be understood thot various changes in tbe structurel detfiils illustrated nniy be inode Without departure :troni the spirit ond scope oi the vein-,ii :is clninicdhereinntlcr, i
